An amateur Photographic artist was
amusing himself to-day on the State
House Green when a colored gentleman
from the county happened to be passing,
Seeing the artist place his camera in posi-
ton, and then pull the cloth over his
head, the colored gent thinking it was a
gun of some kind and was being pointed
at HIM broke and run, and on being met
by one of the police who asked him what
was the matter he breathlessly exclaimed
before de good Lord boss dar's man

Strange Accident and It's COnse-
0uenees.

Some time since, while one of our citi.
zens was shaving, in moment OF ao-
straction he cut of the end OF his nose.
This caused such pain that he dropped
his razor which cut off one of his toes.
DR.. in repairing the damage fast
ened the toe on the nose, and the nose on
the toe and the parts readily healed. But
now comes the strange part of 1t. A few
eavs since the patient was taken with q
severe cold in his head, and now every
time he has to blow his nose he has to
take his boot of.

Randolph Cromwell, who lives In Anne
Arundel county, was driving team Of
sleepy looking mules down Ridgely street
yesterday afternoon, when suddenly the or
mule halted and IN spite Of the pleadings Of
the surprised driver refused TO 60 on. Fin
ally, Randolph left the wagon and went
In search Of assistance. This was just
what the longeared animals were waiting
for, and no sooner had the innocent coun-
tryman disappeared than they decided to
create little excitement, and started on q
wild run down Ridgely street. Their
mad career was brought to a sudden close
by lamp post some three squares from
their starting point. Here the disguised
Randolph found them quietly standing on
the sidewalk. II will cost Cromwell SO
70 repair his wagon and harness. After
using some strong language and express
ing his opinion of mules in general, the
weary granger started for home.

As We walked up the street yesterday.
we saw hanging from the knob Of door
q long white streamer. We trod the pave
ment more softly and passed with bated
breath. We knew that the angel of death
had visited that house, and that an angels
spirit had been freed from its tenement of
clay. We sorrowed with the distressed
parents who so bitterly gave back TO the
Lord little idol that had twined itself
around their hearts. We knew Il was
wrong to sorrow. We knew that that lit
tie one had gone from a world Of woe to
realms of bliss, where il could wait in joy
full expectancy for other loved ones who
had yet to come over the river we
knew that il had not to buffet the waves
OF the fierce struggle of life. and yet we
screwed.
No bitter tears of disappointment were
TO be shed by that little child. No temp
tatioDs were TO be overcome. No falling

sOrrowed.
Not long since we saw the black sym
Dol, and we knew q weary struggle had
been ended. We knew that one who had
borne the heat and burden of the day,
who had seen his loved ones die, who had
had bis brightest hopes dashed to earth
had gone to his last account, and we drop
tear for him. Tears that his life had
been SO hard. Tears that he had accom-
plished SO little, after all life's struggle.
and we still would have had him finger
among us. Proper symbols of youth and
age. the white and the black. A white
winged angel untouched by care. A dis
figured trunk blackened by the storms of
time.

coster kept his donkey, his barrow and
his surplus stock, though one cruel wit
ness deposed that water cress was gener-

little water and sold next morning as
fresh gathered water cress The school
inspectors generally declared that the
coster preferred the old haunts, and would
not 60 to respectable tenement house If
the opportunity was afforded. They can
not make themselves sociable nor affiliate
with other people In any way Few Of
their children attend school, and it was
difficult to find school to get them into,
as they were 50 ragged and dirty The
habits Of the coster made him d disagree
able neighbor. He deposited his fish and
refuse vegetable matter In the common.
dust bin of the court, hitched his donkey
In the back yard and stored his unsold
stock in his room. In fact the London
